Question

Inoculation of a suspension of killed or attenuated pathogenic micro-organisms to stimulate the formation of antibodies is known as

• A. Vaccination
• B. Antibiotic treatment
• C. Serum therapy
• D. Transplantation

Answer 1

The correct option is A Vaccination

• A vaccine contains an agent that resembles a disease-causing microorganism and is often made from weakened or killed forms of the microbes, its toxins or one of its surface proteins.
• The agent stimulates the body's immune system to recognize the agent as a threat, destroy it and keep a record of it so that the immune system can more easily recognize and destroy any of these microbes that it later encounters.

So the correct answer is the option 'Vaccination'.
